Tbue doee one of Utah's eona who was wounded in the world war and still lies In the Letterman Ban Francisco, Cal., general hospital. HLe fighting for his life, express his feelings for the state which he thinks has forgotten him, according to Mlis Gertrude Holmes, 1091 Bush street,' Ban Francisco. Mies Holmes formerly lived hi Utah, and has taken the matter of the unthinking neglect which Utah hae shown to her eona ho are yet In army hospitals up with Ur frisnd, Mrs. A. L. Hoppaugh, 117 East South Temple street. Miss Holmes has been closely associated with the Utah bo) s at the Letter-ma- n hospital, and they have discussed with her their feeling of being neglected by their own state, while the boys around them are able to brag about the thlnga done for them by their home atates. Attention Means Much. , "If you could only see how much a little attention means to these poor chaps who have been in the hospital so long. writes Miss Holmes. "A year and a half has passed since the armistice was signed. Poes the state of Utah know or care that the war Is not yet over for some of her sons? Does she know or care that In away from her borders army hospital some ef her sons are still fighting a bitter fight for. health and strength, and even IM life Itself? aay she does. But her aons say she doesn't. "Does the state of Utah know or care how many of her sons are at Letterman hospital? If she does she makes no sign that the men may know they are remembered. Does she know or care how many are In oilier armv hospitals and still In the service? Is she making an sign to let them know she knows and cares'.' Other States Remember. "Other states know these things and show that they know and care. For instance. the state of Montana remembered each of her sons In the army hospitals at Christmas time. Nhe sees to it that each month they have tangible evidence of her remembering and caring for them. As each man is discharged from the hospital 'he gets a substantial welcome home from the state. Other states remember their wounded men. but Montana best of all. Is this because the official record of casualties by atates puts Montana at the top of the Hat with 9 1 per thousand of population?. Next comes Connecticut with 6.6 And much farther down the ?ier thousand. is Utah with 2 69 per thousand. Perthose who have suffered most rehaps member best.

But the state of Utah, as a state, paid her own wounded scant or no attention even then, and apparently sher lias forgotten them utterly now. At least the sons so believe and feel It keenly.

Supreme Court Judgment Finds for Land Board in Orem Case. - The supreme court of Utah yesterday Issued a peremptory writ directing Joseph Rlrte, state auditor, to honor the reqis tion of the state board of land commissioners for $20,000 to be Invested In town of Orem bonds. Mr. Rlrte some time ago refused to Issue the requisition, and during the .correspondence on the case advanced several reasons which In his mind seemed to iudlcale that the Investment of the state school land trust funds In these particular bonds might not be wise, lie baaed his Anal refusal to honor the requisition un the legal question that the state law provides that these funds may be Invested in "stale, county, city and school district bonds, hut does not specifically mention town bonds. The land board, on the other hand, after referring the matter to the attorney general, Dan B. Bhtelds, called attention to another part of the law which says that "city" may mean "town," and view versa, In the construction of the statutes. Justice Valentine Gideon writes the prevailing opinion, which holds that the rule fixed by. the legislature as to the construction of the statutes must hold good In this case. Chief Justice E. E, Corfman and Justice A. J. Weber concur In this opinion. Justice J, E. Frick writes a dissenting opinion,of holding that It was toe the legislature specificalevident intent ly to exclude town bonds from the list of securities, and that the statutory rule of construction cannot be applied In this case. Justice 8. R. Thurman, after reading the dissenting opinion, writes an opinion In which he compliments highly the manner In which Justice hYtrk presents the case, but says he can find no reason for not applying the statutory rule of construction. Justice Gideon's opinion refers to the argument presented by James It Wolfe of the attorney general' office, when the case was heard by the supreme court, which argument had reference to the duties of the state auditor In such Instances. "When money Is appropriated for a particular purpose," says Justice Gideon, "and It Is attempted to be used for a different purpose, then It la not only the auditor's privilege but It Is his duty as well to interpose an objection to such Howapplication of the funds. ever, It Is no concern of the auditor, neither is it a part of his duty, to ascertain whether the Investment Is desirable or whether the security is sufficient. Whenever the land board, or any committee or official whose duty It Is to determine those matters, haa acted, such acts or conclusions are final and binding upon the auditor, so long as the Invest, ment Is authorized by law. If the land board Is authorized under the statutes to invest the state funds In the bonds of a town, then It is no part of the auditor a duty to question the wisdom of the Investment. Neither is he required. nor Is It his duty, to Investigate of the preliminary steps leading up any tothe action of the land board in decidThe law ing to make the Investment. has granted to and Imposed upon the land hoard that power and the responsibility. "In the verv nature of things. In carry. Ing on the affairs of the state. It could not be otherwise. If the auditor were charged with the duty and responsibility of examining and determining the regularity and desirability of the Investment of the funda of the state, then Indeed would conrtietas, disputes .and general chaqs follow. ' , The public utilities commission yesterday conducted hearings or parts of hear lugs In four cases. Thera was tha hearing on the application of the Utah Power A Light company, which has been on for several days, and which promises to last many mors. At 4 o'clock In the afternoon hearing was conducted on the application of tha Pullman company for an Increase In its Intrastate fares. The Interstate commerce commission has already granted an Increase of about 2 per cent on the Interstate rates charged by this company, and tne company seeks to have the same schedules approved for Intrastate rates as well. Utah ia,fiie of thirteen state which required additional showing to be made ouis.de of the record of the decision of the interstate commerce commission. William Hough of Chicago, assistant was tha comptroller of the company, principal witness at th.s hearing, which was also attended by J. B. Elliott, district superintendent of the Pullman company, and by former Judge F. C. as counsel. Mr. Hough presented a financial statement of what the would company's income and expense have been in 1919 had the company been were unoperating its own cars, whichwas der government control. He closely questioned by Commissioner Henry H. Blood as tq the applicability of the 1919 supposed record to the actual 1929 busiLoot-bouro- w J ness.

Mr. Hough testified, among other things, that the expenses of this year ill be less for adcertlslng. since the company will not advertise until it can get its csrs into shape to take care of the increased traffic that would result from such advert. sement He also said that the business done by thd company would be less, since there was one Item of about $5,000 000 frofn th transportation of troops last year that would not be included In this years business. The matter was taken under advisement by the comtnisa.on. The interstate Increases go Into effect Mav 1. Inasmuch as there Is a great deal uf business before the utilities it is hardly thought probable that the decision as to tha Intrastate Increases asked can be made by that time.

Early Decision Asked. When the case was near conclusion Judge Loofbourow urged on the that It reach a decision In time to put the proposed Intrastate rates Into effect with the inte-sta- te rates, two days hence. Commissioner Warren Stoutnour asked Judge Lout bourow If he thought triwt the commission ought to reach its decision without due deliberation, and If. in the present state of the calendar of tho commission, it would be right to attempt to digest exhibits involving alleged revenues of $60,000,000 annually and to reach Its decision In so short a time. Judge Loofbourow said he was only urging that as early a decision as consistent be reached by the commission.
